Bsria’s expert speaker is Lone Hansen, senior manager – IT Cabling, BACS & Associated Technologies in Bsria’s World Market Intelligence division. Lone specialises in IoT in commercial buildings and will speak on Thursday 8 November.

Lone will be presenting on ‘convergence – IoT in commercial buildings’. He said: “The trend towards everything being connectable is evident, with increasing uptake of IP enabled products, increasing use of open protocols such as BACnet and more intelligent controllers and gateways. 

However, concerns about cyber security, limited new build compared to existing (old) buildings, lack of education and skills in the industry and, in many cases, issues with integration of various protocols and standards is holding growth back.”
